taining methanol or fuels containing
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over
15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7% weight.)
B010B01A-AATWhat About Gasohol?Gasohol (a mixture of 90% unleaded gaso-
line and 10% ethanol or grain alcohol)
may be used in your Hyundai. However, if
your engine develops driveability prob-
lems, the use of 100% unleaded gasoline
is recommended. Fuels with unspecified
quantities of alcohol, or alcohols other
than ethanol, should not be used.
B010A01CM-AATUse Unleaded GasolineUnleaded gasoline with a Pump Octane
Rating of 87(Research Octane Number

ing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
over 15.0% vol. (Oxygen Content 2.7%
weight) should not be used in your
Hyundai.
Fuel containing MTBE over 15.0% vol.
(Oxygen Content 2.7% weight) may re-
duce vehicle performance and produce
vapor lock or hard starting.B010D01A-AATDo Not Use MethanolFuels containing methanol (wood alco-
hol) should not be used in your Hyundai.

CAUTION:
When installing a container of liquid air
freshener inside the vehicle, do not place
it near the instrument cluster nor on the
instrument panel surface. If there is any
leakage from the air freshener onto these
areas (instrument cluster, instrument
panel or air ventilator), it may damage
these parts. If the liquid from the air
freshener does leak onto these areas,
wash them with water immediately.
!Passenger's Air bag

!
WARNING:
o If an air bag deploys, there may be a
loud noise followed by a fine dust
released in the vehicle. These condi-
tions are normal and are not hazard-
ous - the air bags are packed in this
fine powder. The dust generated dur-
ing air bag deployment may cause
skin or eye irritation as well as aggra-
vate asthma for some persons. Al-
ways wash all exposed skin areas
thoroughly with lukewarm water and
a mild soap after an accident in which
the air bags were deployed.Passenger's Air bag

o The SRS can function only when the
ignition key is in the "ON" position. If
the SRS SRI does not illuminate or
continuously remains on after illumi-
nating for about 6 seconds when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" po-
sition, or after the engine is started,
illuminates while driving, the SRS is
not working properly. If this occurs,
have your vehicle immediately in-
spected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or discon-
nect a battery terminal, turn the igni-
tion key to the "LOCK" position or
remove the ignition key. Never re-
move or replace the air bag related
fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the
"ON" position. Failure to heed this
warning will cause the SRS SRI to
illuminate.
WARNING:

!
NOTE:The passenger air bag off indicator illu-
minates for about 4 seconds after the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion or after the engine is started. If the
front passenger seat is occupied, the
occupant classification sensor will then
classify the front passenger within ap-
proximately 10 seconds after the igni-
tion is turned on.
!
WARNING:
o A smaller-stature adult who is not
seated correctly (for example: seat
excessively reclined, leaning on the
center console, or hips shifted for-
ward in the seat) can cause a condi-
tion where the advanced frontal air
bag system senses less weight than
if the occupant were seated properly
(sitting upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on, legs
comfortably extended and their feet
on the floor).
o This condition can result in an adult
potentially being misclassified and
illumination of the passenger air bag
off indicator.
WARNING:
Do not allow an adult passenger to ride
in the front seat when the passenger air
bag off indicator is illuminated, because
the air bag will not deploy in the event of
a crash. If the passenger air bag off
indicator remains illuminated after the
passenger repositions themselves prop-
erly and the car is restarted, Hyundai
recommends that passenger move to
the rear seat because the passenger's
front air bag will not deploy.
!
CAUTION:
If the occupant classification system is
not working properly, the SRS air bag
warning light on the instrument panel
will illuminate because the passenger's
front air bags are connected with the
occupant classification system. If there
is a malfunction of the occupant classi-
fication system, the passenger air bag
off indicator will illuminate and the
passenger's front air bags will not inflate
in frontal impact crashes even if there is
adult occupant in the front passenger's
seat. If the SRS air bag warning light does
not illuminate when the ignition key is
turned to the "ON" position, remains
illuminated after approximately 6 sec-
onds when the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position, or if it illuminates
while the vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized Hyundai dealer inspect the
occupant classification system and the
SRS air bag system as soon as possible.

B240C01CM-AATSRS CareThe SRS is virtually maintenance free and
there are no parts you can safely service by
yourself. If the SRS SRI (Service Reminder
Indicator) does not illuminate, or continu-
ously remains on, have your vehicle im-
mediately inspected by your Hyundai
dealer.
Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any work
on the steering wheel must be performed
by a qualified Hyundai technician. Improper
handling of the air bag system may result
in serious personal injury.

WARNING:
o The built in coat hooks should only be
used for light weight clothing. Ensure
that clothing pockets are free of any
heavy or sharp objects. When using
coat hooks, do not hang clothes on
coat hangers.
o The space between the occupant and
the curtain air bag must never be
occupied by children, passengers or
pets. Occupants should never lean
out or have any parts of their body
protruding from the window while the
engine is running.
o Do not move the sun visor out to cover
the side window if there is an item
attached to it such as garage door
remote control, pens, compact disc
pocket, air fresheners or the like.
These objects may cause injury if the
Curtain Air Bag is deployed.
o Where sun blinds are fitted to the rear
doors, these must not obstruct or
impair the air bag in any way.o Do not install any accessories or
children’s toys in the Curtain Air Bag
deployment zones, as this may im-
pair the operation of the system or
throw parts of them into the vehicle
cabin causing injury to occupants if
the system is deployed.
o To maintain the integrity of the Cur-
tain Air Bag system, any work, re-
moval or installation of the air bag and
associated components (such as roof
lining and side trims) should always
be performed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
WARNING:
WARNING:
Never tamper with or disconnect the air
bag system sensors & wiring. You could
cause the air bag to inflate or the system
may fail to operate which may result in
fatal personal injury.

Parking Brake/Low Brake
Fluid Level Warning Light
The brake fluid level warning light indi-
cates that the brake fluid level in the brake
master cylinder is low and hydraulic brake
fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 speci-
fications should be added. After adding
fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car
should be immediately and carefully driven
to a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If further
trouble is experienced, the vehicle should
not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by
a professional towing service.
Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-di-
agonal braking systems. This means you
still have braking on two wheels even if
one of the dual systems should malfunc-
tion. With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal travel
and greater pedal pressure are required to
stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in as
short a distance with only half of the brake
system working. If the brakes malfunction
while you are driving, shift to a lower gear
for additional engine braking and stop the
car as soon as it is safe to do so.
WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, have your
brakes checked by a Hyundai dealer as
soon as possible. Driving your car with
a problem in either the brake electrical
system or brake hydraulic system is
dangerous, and could result in a serious
injury or death.Warning Light OperationThe parking brake/brake fluid level warn-
ing light should illuminate when the park-
ing brake is applied and the ignition switch
is turned to "ON" or "START". After the
engine is started, the light should go out
when the parking brake is released.
If the parking brake is not applied, the
warning light should illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START",
then go out when the engine starts. If the
light illuminate at any other time, you
should slow the vehicle and bring it to a
complete stop in a safe location off the
roadway.
B260J02TG-AAT
Charging System Warning
Light
The charging system warning light should
illuminate when the ignition is turned on,
then go out when the engine is running. If
the light stays on while the engine is run-
ning, there is a malfunction in the electrical
charging system. If the light illuminates
while you are driving, have the system
checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon
as possible.Parking brake warning chime
(if installed)The parking brake warning chime sounds
to remind you that the parking brake is
